I wanted to try out something different and remembered how we were taught garri Biscuits in secondary school then decided to recreate the recipe. I wondered how baking with garri would turn out hence this recipe. My garri cookies has this bit of tangy taste because of the use of garri but it's absolutely yummy😘👌
